Week 1: Busy day for a newborn

Thursday morning we took Raelyn on her first outing. We really only went to the pediatrician's office, but she did get out of the house. :) She was not a fan of waiting around naked for Dr. Rob to get to the exam room.

Here are her stats at 5 days old:

  • Weight: 6 lb 14 oz (birth weight - was down to 6 lb 8 oz at hospital release) 22%
  • Height: 19 inches 22%
  • Head circumference: 13 inches 8%
She took a nice nap after her busy morning. :)


In the afternoon we decided a little playtime was in order. She spent some time on her tummy mat and on her back mat. She seemed to enjoy both. She was really interested in watching her reflection in the mirror!




Before bedtime we decided it was time we gave our girl a little sponge bath. There was some screaming involved.

Yeah, but I'll bet she smells better! When we gave Sara her first bath, we both laughed until we cried because she gave us a look that clearly said, "You two have no idea what you are doing."

She is sooo cute! And you swaddle like pros!

Raelyn is so cute. She has definitely wrapped her mommy and daddy around her little fingers.
